She is an alumni of Albertus Magnus College and Fisk University where she earned Bachelor's in Communications and Master's Degree in Psychology, respectively, and completed the Education Policy Fellowship Program in 2008. Currently, Aisha is Senior Editor for BookTrib, a division of the literary public relations firm, Meryl Moss Media and a HuffPost contributor.

In 2018, she will be contributing to scholarly work on Prince and the Minneapolis Sound and sitting on an NYU panel for a conference commemorating the 30th anniversary of his Lovesexy album. While Aisha enjoys writing about music, she feels the most critical discussions we can have today are centered around race and intersectionality because "you can't fix a problem you don't acknowledge, and not acknowledging the plight of women of color and specifically Black women is a problem."
